This moblog is about breaking the boundaries of communication by using a mobile anywhere, any time. And I’m taking it to the extreme…

My Mission

Sponsored by Motorola, I’m heading to the top of Mount Everest to make the world’s highest land-based mobile phone call and text. I’ll be posting the evidence here in the coming weeks. Watch this space!

My Mobile
I’m using Motorola’s new MOTORIZR Z8, a cool slider phone that shows and records video at 30 frames a second. It’s also got 4GB of memory so I can store loads of pics and videos of my family.

My Records
When I was 29, I secured the world record for climbing the highest point of every European country in 835 days. I also hold the world record for climbing more of the world's highest points than any other person.

Well Rob you made it!
What an achievement. I still remember you coming to see me in my office at Motorola Basingstoke and thinking, "you know this man really deserves a chance to be the first". I am delighted that we made the right decision. Although the land of Motorola is now behind me I have loved watching your journey. A very well done. Great job. The phones not bad either!
